How to include diary anniversary entries into default org-agenda?

How to include diary anniversary entries into default org-agenda?

[stardiviner]

I have an org-mode file:

#+begin_src org
,* Anniversary

,** my first child anniversary

%%(diary-anniversary 10 26 2017)

,** Funeral Arrangement

,*** kk

%%(diary-anniversary 12 8 2007)
#+end_src

How to include and show them in default org-agenda day view by 
configuring org-mode?

I don't know for the agenda, but if you install calfw and calfw-cal, you
can see your diary entries in a "more graphical" calendar.

IIUC you can use

#+begin_src org
,** my first child anniversary
<%%(org-anniversary 2016 12 20)>
#+end_src

to get a corresponding entry in the agenda.

I like keeping anniversaries in bbdb:

,----
| Some Person
|                mail: some-person@nowhere.com
|         anniversary: 1990-01-01 birthday
|                      2015-01-01 wedding
`----

and incorporating them into the agenda with

,----
| * Anniversaries
| %%(org-bbdb-anniversaries)
`----

in one of my agenda files.

Try org-anniversary.  The line

%%(org-anniversary 2016 12 20) Test anniversary

Generates an anniversary in the agenda.  In the default daily agenda it
is mixed in with the tasks and deadlines, so it may be easy to miss.

Note the order of the date elements is year, month, day and all three
are needed.  There is an option final element of type MARK what could be
used to adjust fonts and the like.

 I tried %%(org-anniversary 2016 12 21) Test anniversary. But this seems
does not work. I tested with variable diary-file default value point to
~/.emacs.d/diary file. and has following content:

%%(diary-anniversary 10 21 2016) my first child
<%%(diary-anniversary 10 21 2016)> my first child
%%(org-anniversary 2016 12 21) Test anniversary


Then I try to change diary file to an org-mode file. Has following content:

* Holiday

%%(org-calendar-holiday)

** Valentine's Day

<%%(diary-anniversary 2 14 2017)>


* Birthday

** My Birthday

<%%(diary-anniversary 3 24 1990)> I'm %d%s years old today!!!

* Anniversary

** my first child anniversary

<%%(diary-anniversary 10 26 2017)>



Then org-agenda shows all headlines which has anniversary entry. Like: -
Valentine's Day - My Birthday - my first child anniversary Without
considering whether the anniversary date is a day past one year? (I think
anniversary is by default repeat one year. Like org-mode timestamp repeat.
<2017-12-21 Thu +1y>) I know there are other diary anniversary syntax like:
- ~%%(diary-anniversary 3 24 2014)~ diary anniversary - ~%%(diary-cyclic 2
7 26 2014)~ repeated diary. - ~%%(diary-block 7 26 2014 8 26 2020)~ diary
block - ~%%(diary-float t 5 1)~ happens every 1st Friday of the month. I
checked out them in Org-mode Info diary node.

Works fine here. Where are you adding this line?  You have to put this
in an agenda file, otherwise it will not be processed.

Re: How to include diary anniversary entries into default org-agenda?

[stardiviner]

Sorry, that's my mis-type. You example works.

Now the problem is:

 > #+begin_src org
 > ,* Anniversary
 >
 > ,** my first child anniversary
 >
 > %%(diary-anniversary 10 26 2017)
 >
 > ,** Funeral Arrangement
 >

 >

 > #+end_src

Then org-agenda shows all headlines which has anniversary entry.

Like:

- Valentine's Day

- My Birthday

- my first child anniversary


Without considering whether the anniversary date is a day past one year? 
(I think anniversary is by default repeat one year. Like org-mode 
timestamp repeat. <2017-12-21 Thu +1y>)

I know there are other diary anniversary syntax like:

- ~%%(diary-anniversary 3 24 2014)~ diary anniversary

- ~%%(diary-cyclic 2 7 26 2014)~ repeated diary.

- ~%%(diary-block 7 26 2014 8 26 2020)~ diary block

- ~%%(diary-float t 5 1)~ happens every 1st Friday of the month.

I checked out those syntax in Org-mode Info diary nod.


This seems a little kind of off my original topic.
